Rockets EXPECTATIONS: Who Has The MOST To LOSE This Season? Kevin Durant, Alperen Sengun & MOREHouston Rockets face a pivotal post-All-Star break as questions loom over Kevin Durant and Alperen ?engün’s ability to carry the team to the playoffs. Can head coach Ime Udoka spark a turnaround for a roster hit by injuries and inconsistency? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohosts Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks), Brandon Scott (@brandonkscott) and Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to dissect the major challenges ahead, from the pressing point guard dilemma and Reed Sheppard’s evolving role to execution issues plaguing Houston’s half-court offense.Debate heats up on who has the most riding on the rest of the Houston Rockets’ season—will Durant push for a championship run, or is ?engün’s spot as a franchise cornerstone at stake? The crew weighs buyout-market options versus rewarding J.D. Davison with the final roster spot. With playoff hopes on the line and Udoka’s coaching future drawing scrutiny, every decision could reshape Houston’s path. Will the Rockets rise, or is a shakeup on the horizon?#Rockets #NBA #KevinDurant #AlperenSengun? Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets?
